If you're a wanna be nerd, often dreaming of world domination by means of functions and routines.
If you think your mobile phone camera will ultimately replace your digital SLR!
Or if you love a dogs eye (Aussie slang for meat pie) and vanilla slice this is the place for you.
Welcome to an elder of the internet; sit back and enjoy the ride as I work on consolidating over 25 years of content.

travel: Hill End and back via the Bridle Track
Posted: 14 January 2004 at 7:06 pm by Davey
Hill End is a great place to travel to, the scenery and landscape is sensational, the quiet and private state of being is a spectacular get away and its historic origins can be traced back to the mid 1800's. From a four wheel drive perspective Hill End offers some nice little tracks that take yo...

*nix: Building X on OpenBSD
Posted: 10 February 2003 at 1:35 pm by Davey
I recently installed OpenBSD on a spare box at home, hoping to have a play with it and a possible migration to it from FreeBSD (which I have been using now for about 2 years) ...

August, while signalling the last month of winter is traditionally still quite cold, this year threw a spanner in the works and I got to experience it in its full summer glory. Sit down, grab yaself a coffee (or port) and enjoy the trip write up. It’s been a very long time since arrival at…

2026 Winter Camp, solo day 4
Posted: 24 July 2026 at 7:10 pm by Davey
I was woken by the wildest storm at 4am, quickly zipping the roof top tent windows to stop the sideways rain entering I prayed the awning I’d left set up wasn’t going to suffer the awkward fate of being flipped over itself. I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of such a fierce storm in…

2026 Winter Camp, solo day 3
Posted: 22 July 2026 at 9:30 pm by Davey
For me, there is none more a distinct sound that reminds me of camping at Hill End than that of the currawong in the morning, crystal and clear through the silence. It was precisely 7.08am and real cold, not a cloud in the sky. The dew point was high, everything was iced up and saturated….

2026 Winter Camp, solo day 2
Posted: 20 July 2026 at 8:00 pm by Davey
Mother nature holds a surprise for us every day; today a cold, wet and foggy morning greeted me. To be honest I’d rather be out in the elements than in the big apple, so as hard as mother nature tried, she didn’t come close to breaking me 🙂. I rugged up and made my way…

2026 Winter Camp, solo day 1
Posted: 19 July 2026 at 7:00 pm by Davey
There’s been a long standing tradition between Brad and myself, the Winter Camp. There once was a time, way back before the advent of social media when Dan would also join in on the yearly shindig. Due to unforeseen circumstances Brad was unable to make it this July, for me a reschedule to an unknown…

With new suspension fitted and fuel tank near full it was time to burn some diesel in the best way possible, a cold and quick overnight stay at Sofala. The requirement being to get the tank down to at least quarter full as the new tank was being fitted in a weeks time! More on…

The Snowy Mountains: part 3, Denison
Posted: 10 June 2026 at 9:00 pm by Davey
After a slow morning on the Eucumbene, mainly due to finding less crowdy spots I decided to pull the pin and head to Denison via the bakery at Adaminaby. Nothing brightens up a dull day better than a curry pie and apple turn over! While stuffing my face I got the text from Brad, he…

The Snowy Mountains: part 2, Anglers Reach
Posted: 7 June 2026 at 11:00 am by Davey
There are a few routes to take when travelling from Jindabyne to Adaminaby, in the essence of time I chose the path of least resistance; cutting across from Berridale via Middlingbank Rd. A quick stop around half way along Middlingbank Rd to collect some firewood in prep for camping at Denison. The current agenda being…

The Snowy Mountains: part 1, the Thredbo
Posted: 24 May 2026 at 11:20 am by Davey
There is something that keeps drawing me back to the NSW High Country; the inclement weather, the harsh environment and remote solitary of Long Plain and surrounds conversely clash with the almost upbeat and trendy Jindabyne with it’s cool mountain bike and hiking trails, ski lodges and popular spumante of trendsetters. For me this time…

West of the Great Dividing Range

Heading west via Bells Line – who’d have ever thought it would be the most direct route! For me the trip commenced on Old Windsor Rd, through Richmond and meandering through the goat track known as Bells Line of Road. My next stop was Bilpin. The Grumpy Baker. The chunky steak pie is one of…
